Summary:
The 46013 zip code area is home to two schools - Anderson High School and Erskine Elementary School, both of which serve a predominantly low-income population and face significant challenges in academic achievement.
While neither school stands out as a clear standout, Erskine Elementary School appears to have slightly better academic outcomes compared to Anderson High School, particularly in ILEARN/Math proficiency. However, both schools perform significantly below state and district averages on various academic assessments, with Anderson High School reporting alarmingly low proficiency rates in SAT/Mathematics (7.84%) and ILEARN/Biology (8.33%).
Chronic absenteeism is a major concern, with Anderson High School reporting a 45.5% chronic absenteeism rate, suggesting a potential issue with student engagement and attendance. Additionally, the high percentages of students eligible for free/reduced lunch (76.2% at Anderson High School and 82.02% at Erskine Elementary School) indicate that these schools serve a predominantly low-income population, which can present additional challenges in terms of educational resources and support. Despite the relatively high spending per student at both schools, the data suggests a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and utilization to improve academic outcomes.
